Wayne State is looking to get some more girls from Detroit interested
in the STEM subjects - Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
The university's College of Education will kick off the 10th edition of its
GO-GIRL
program (Gaining Options-Girls Investigate Real Life) in January. The
program aims to get more girls interested in science and math subjects.
The hope is this will inspire them to pursue careers in these fields.
The
free program will be held every Saturday for 10 weeks. It is open only
to girls in the 7th grade. For information, contact Prof. Sally Roberts
at
gogirl@wayne.edu.
The
program began in 2002. More than 400 girls from both private and public
schools in Detroit have graduated from it. They have enjoyed the
high-tech resources of the university and one-on-one tutoring from
university mentors.
